About this map

Harvey Neck dominates this coastal landscape, a finger of land projecting into the waters where the Perquimans River meets the Albemarle Sound. This 2019 survey documents a peninsula largely defined by restricted geography, most notably the Harvey Point Defense Testing Activity Airport, which occupies a significant portion of the eastern tip. The area's long-standing family ties to the land are evident in local nomenclature, from the small Harvey Cem to the namesake Harvey Point.

To the west, the map details the transition from the marshy fringes of Halsey Bay and Blount Point to the small residential network along Harvey Point Rd and Harveys Neck Rd. Across the river, the edge of Durants Neck is visible, connected by a network of local roads including Muddy Creek Rd and Cross Neck Rd, illustrating the fragmented but persistent settlement patterns of this tidewater region.
